Pluto Demoted. Student Fails.

Disassociated Press -

A student in a pretend school failed his stupid science project after he included Pluto in his galaxy of planets. "Here at Northern Pike Elementary we do not stand for mediocrity. The student exhibited gross intellectual negligence. We have notified the New York Times. The grade stands," Principal Rina Martin defiantly revealed in a press conference today. When asked about why he added Pluto, Sam Samuel was confused. "I mean, when I went to bed we had nine planets. When I woke up we had eight. But by then it was too late to change my project as it was due that day." For her part, Sam's mother added,"L'il Sammy just wants to put this behind him. It was a good lesson for him. Don't ever take things for granted."

Protestors marched on to school property demanding the child get an 'A'. "I'm worried what this'll do to his morale when he's older. Besides, who cares about Pluto? It's the pinky toe of planets. It's completely useless," one protestor said. The second one offered this observation. "Planets are over rated. We have nine too many."

As for Sammy? "I'll be alright. Tonight my lawyers will determine who we will sue. So in the end we may end up winners even though the planets lost a friend."

Moon Zuppa salutes you Pluto! We hardly knew ya.
